System Architecture & Signal Flow
The IC695CPK330-ACAS occupies Slot 0 of the RX3i universal backplane (IC695CHS012 / IC695CHS016). The CPU communicates with I/O modules via the high-speed RX3i backplane bus (up to 320 MB/s). Dual Ethernet ports connect directly to plant LAN/SCADA networks for SRTP and EGD communications. The front-panel USB port provides direct connection to a Proficy Machine Edition engineering workstation for program download, online monitoring, and firmware updates. An optional IC695RMX128 redundancy module in an adjacent slot enables CPU-level hot-standby redundancy with automatic bumpless transfer.
Typical Signal Flow: Field I/O → RX3i I/O Modules → Backplane Bus → IC695CPK330-ACAS CPU → Ethernet → SCADA/HMI / Historian

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the IC695CPK330-ACAS compatible with IC695CHS012 and IC695CHS016 backplanes?
A: Yes. It is compatible with all RX3i universal backplanes including IC695CHS012 (12-slot) and IC695CHS016 (16-slot).
Q: Can this CPU run Series 90-30 programs without modification?
A: In most cases, yes. GE’s PACSystems migration utility converts 90-30 programs with minimal manual intervention. Some hardware-specific instructions may require review.
Q: What version of Proficy Machine Edition is required?
A: PME v8.0 or higher is recommended. PME v9.x provides full feature support including advanced diagnostics and EGD configuration.
Q: Does the IC695CPK330-ACAS support EtherNet/IP?
A: Native EtherNet/IP scanner/adapter functionality requires an IC695ETM001 Ethernet module. The embedded ports support SRTP, EGD, and Modbus TCP natively.
Q: What is the maximum number of I/O points supported?
A: The RX3i platform supports up to 8,192 discrete I/O points and 2,048 analog channels depending on backplane and module configuration.
Q: Is redundancy supported?
A: Yes. CPU redundancy is supported via the IC695RMX128 module with automatic bumpless switchover. I/O redundancy requires compatible RX3i I/O modules.
